CINEMALAYA '07

- i was supposed to watch endo (a cinemalaya entry) WITH joyce, but i was late and freaked out a little because i bumped with someone i knew (ehem, wala kaming nakaraan. i wasn't me.hahaha) and hurried inside the cine adarna. hoping joyce will pick me up, i waited at the very back of the theater and didn't sit.. but i ended up watching it alone with gogo in my right hand and iced tea in the left...talk about patience. hahaha!!

- endo has a usual plot: boy meets girl. they were both contractual employees of our well loved tambayan, SM. they fall in love. girl being so "ambitious" applied to a luxury ship liner. guy tried but failed. and they end up not talking anymore. then girl thought she's pregnant. then i think i should stop here. hahaha!!spoilers for you my dearest..*wink*

- endo, for the romantics, is just a love story. actually, had it been mass- produced i am sure the audience are alreardy preparing themselves a handky and one heck of a "happy ending" musical number. thank god it was a cinemalaya entry made my a passionate artist. feminist like my self will find the protagonist girl (FYI: she bagged the well- deserved best actress "balanghay") rather endearing and realistic. i love the fact that all the elements of a stereotype love story are present. from the "other" girl/s to the marry-me-and-don't-leave-me-because-i-love-you-and-oh-by-the-way-abandon-the-plans-you've-conceived-before-i-came-to-your-life-and-yes-i-am-actually-kneeling-now-begging speech from a howling guy. and yes, audience sick of these usual mushyness will be heard yelling "tang ina mu pagsinunud mo sya papatayin kita!!" (babala:hindi sa akin nagmula yan...hindi..gago ka kung maniniwala ka sakin.hahahaha).. yet the resolution was a diversion from the expected.and of course, temperamental audience are relieved...that'll be me i guess.hahaha!! i also love the type of mushyness the screen writer and the director infused in the movie. basta, it was a good movie worth more than P70...

- gusto ko talaga mapanood ang tribu, the one awarded best picture. pati ang pisay ni aureus solito, the guy who gave us ang pagdadalaga ni maximo oliveros.

- next year, i'm so gonna watch all the entries in cinemalaya. and i must be in the opening ceremony. i need to be with my people..*wink*

- so unfortunate i wasn't able to see you-know-who there.. but i saw karylle..ang ordinaryo lang nya..sana sa tv o pelikula na lang sya lagi kasi paglabas nya sa konteksyon yon, hindi na sya mukhang josa..truli..

"..we felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy and how you end up knowing what colors went together. We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them."

-The Virgin Suicides(1999)


...Abstract Expression...

expressing in abstract is my cup of tea.which explains my fascination to the cryptic and the obsure.

...the Abstract Expressionist...

febbie anne.popularly know as pebi,febbie,febz and piboy among others.frequently inebriated by sofia coppola films, bjork and coldplay songs, and haruki murakami novels.a political science misfit. an artist bereft of opportunity.an off-key chanteuse.a cinephile and bibliophile.neophyte in wordplay. in dire need of a loyal sycophant.

prepare to decipher the enigma......
